Quote of the day by Alan Okens: “Astrology Provides a Map of the Soul’s Journey Through Time”
Alan Oken was a renowned American astrologer, author and a spiritual teacher. His writings always focused on soul growth rather than predictions. He had written several books on astrology that inspired generations to look astrology as a sacred system of spiritual development. Alan Oken’s influential statement about astrology is -“Astrology Provides a Map of the Soul’s Journey Through Time”, which means astrology is more than a medium that can make predictions but a sacred language of consciousness and growth.
Astrology; a map of soul’s journey :
According to Oken, astrology is not just a pre written fate but a map to guide a soul through life experiences and evolution across time. This means that astrology does not dictate that what is going to happen in your life but it explains that why certain things happen and what you need to learn from those patterns. A map can only shows the path, similarly astrology is also a medium that can reveal a soul’s life journey. Your birth chart and horoscope represents the cosmic movement of the planets, when you come into this world. These planetary movements can reveal your soul’s intentions, unresolved karma, your goal and challenges. Your planets, zodiac signs and houses explain everything about your life. Together they create a map that can help an individual to understand their true motive, emotional patterns and spiritual direction.
Your soul’s journey through time:
According to the astrologer, life is a part of continuous process of evolution. The planetary returns, transits that bring changes in your life time to time. For example; if you are under the Saturn dasha then it will make you a responsible person, you will become mature and give you challenges in your life so that you can learn more and become a wise person. Saturn is the planet of karma so it will teach you according to your past karmas and you will learn a lot during this phase.
